Gli1 significantly correlated with tumor grade (P = 0.001), pT stage (P = 0.029), clinical stage (P = 0.005), distant metastasis (P = 0.007), and gross type (P = 0.021) (Table 1), not with age, sex, tumor location, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, histological type. The gene discussed is GLI1; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
